It’s been years since I’ve remembered these crossings
As a matter of fact I have tons of videos riding on the C3s! Last summer (2009), my grandma and I rode from Mineola to Oyster Bay and back. A few years ago when I was in Riverhead, the conductor gave myself a tour of the headend power (DE30AC 4xx).
Thank-you! That's just the design that the LIRR chose. It actually makes sense to only have the front painted and not the sides on the M7s but the M8s it looks really cool with the red stripe on the sides.
I'm pretty sure some people have but Mineola is one of the most busiest LIRR stations that the engineers need to blow their horns. Well also blowing Rule 14L with gates reduces the number of accidents because when there are no gates at a very busy (or many) crossing, many people would be tempted to out-run the train. Also the max speed is 80 mph through there. When you think about it in another way, having gated crossings not be quiet zones make a lot of sense.
I'll say. 5022 has a very well tuned Leslie K13A.
Nice double tap horn from the Oyster Bay train.
Thank-you! Just one minor correction-they are C3 Bi-Levels, not Multilevels because remember that "Bi" means two and "Multi" means 3+. Yes I do agree with what you said!
Great Job!!!! I never knew you went railfanning on LI!!!
@Train538 No, I haven't, but I'll go check those out. I actually live on the Montauk Branch.
Great video! LIRR's multilevel cars are very similar to NJ Transit's multilevels.
Train538,This is the first time I have seen your videos and they are very good.Keep up the great work.
I was in Fonday, NY on the CSX Chicago - Selkirk line and there was a sign at a RR Xing that said "State Law - Do Not Stop on Tracks" and I thought of putting a sign under it that said "Enforced by Trains." I saw your vid and saw that it would also fit under the sign here.
No problem. I'm always happy to help.
Thank-you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
@Train538 Ahh, man. Thanks for that. That's one of those things where you go, "Why didn't I think of that!?"
You really should. The first time I ever went to Mineola was last August (2009) to ride the entire Oyster Bay Branch. I may post most of the video some time but it depends when I have the time.
@Train538 Oh ok. I never thought of them that way. Thanks.
Nice video! I would love to live over there!
@Train538 ive been to mineola b4 its a great spot to railfan and i could take the train i need to figure out when thou i may be going in july
nice ! just one question , why doesn't the LIRR paint the sides of the M7 with a yellow strip?
Ahhh this video is sooo nostalgic
Yes indeed. It's crazy how this has all changed.
Haha thank-you so much!! Yeah I've railfanned on Long Island many times! I have family that lives on L.I. as well. five0fan is a really great friend of mine. Have you ever seen any of my Manhasset/Port Washington Branch series?
Whistle (horn).
You should put another sign under that "Unlawful to pass lowered railroad gate" sign that says "Enforced by trains"
I was there Saturday and Sunday (About 2 hours before you)! Nice video!
Thanks!
What does that "W" sign stand for? I know that engineers blow their horn every time they see one.
great horn action at mineola! ;)
I would think he would.
Please do! Oh nice! You should go railfanning and upload some videos!
@Train538 i gotta hit mineola sometime soon btw ur welcome
Oh cool! Thanks!
i think you should ride on the bi-level coaches soon that could be your next video! ;) i have a couple of times.
No problem. Haha we all have those moments! They're really annoying.
Good video.

Haha thank-you!

Oh really? You're the first person to ever say that. Even the M1s (now retired) and M3s were/are ugly to you? Why do you say that?
Thanks!
Thanks!
